An evening shot of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican easily took our favored number one spot. It so perfectly reflects the sense of awe we felt upon completion of our 23-day, 258-mile walk through history along The Way of St. Francis.

Runner-up

The Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi stands out against dramatic skies.

A mystical, magical scene greeted us as we approached Monteluco. Perched high above the Italian city of Spoleto, the climb was just the beginning of our longest and most challenging day of walking The Way of St. Francis.

Runner-up

Our morning continued through the misty Sacred Woods of Monteluco, eventually climbing up and out of the cloud cover…only to face 2,200 feet of treacherous descent.

This is not, by any stretch of the imagination, the best technical photo from our 2018 album. However, the discovery of the Selfie Corner in our Gubbio, Italy hotel presented a photo opportunity too silly to pass up.

Runner-up

The Pinky Bar wins the runner-up spot for no other reason than the irresistible nature of it’s name. It was here that we celebrated Reg’s birthday on a quiet Sunday afternoon in Valfabbrica, Italy.
